THE 2024 LA POP-UP
We’re hosting a major sale — including exclusive
collaborations and discounted seconds —
from Friday, September 6th through Sunday, October 27th.
The shop will be open from Sept 6th to October 27th, from 11am - 7pm daily at Platform in Culver City. (We’re right next door to Sweetgreen.)
FAQ:
What’s Jono Pandolfi Designs?
Jono Pandolfi is a ceramist who has been making dinnerware for the best chefs (and their restaurants) for nearly 20 years. Everything in our collection stands up to the demands of industrial kitchens — it’s dishwasher- and microwave-safe, super-durable, and the designs always frame food beautifully.
Who are your clients in California?
To name a few: Bar Le Côte, Bell’s, Baar Baar, Charcoal Venice, Felix Trattoria, Fia Steak, Funke, Girl & The Goat, Heritage, Leña at Sendero at The Ritz-Carlton, Marlena, Olivella at the Ojai Valley Inn, Palma at The Santa Monica Proper, Per L’Ora at the Hotel Per La, Puesto, Redbird, Rustic Canyon, and The Inn at Mattei’s Tavern.
What will be at the sale?
We’ll be bringing a wide variety of dinnerware, from classic place settings in Dark Brown and Toasted clay to unique custom jobs we originally made for hospitality clients. There will be a mix of seconds and overstock pieces that have zero flaws. We’ll also be releasing some exclusive collaborations with California-based chefs that will only be available at the pop-up. (More on that soon!)
What’s a second?
A second is a ceramic piece with a small irregularity that causes it to just barely miss the quality standard for our full-price retail and restaurant orders. In other words: It’s still totally functional and in a lot of cases most people wouldn’t notice what’s off about it.
What are the prices?
Throughout the shop, we’ll post prices on the walls and on tabletops. You can expect to pay anywhere from $6 for a ramekin to $30 for a pasta bowl to $50 for a serving platter, but it varies with each sale.
Do I have to make a reservation?
Reservations were open the first month of the pop-up to manage our busiest weeks and help with inventory planning. Starting in October we are walk-in only. Hope to see you there!
What’s the parking situation?
We can validate non-valet garage parking for our customers for one hour. Just ask us for a sticker when you're checking out.
What are your accepted payment methods?
We take cards. No cash, please.
Can my dog come?
That’s a yes.
